VBA Combining workbooks/worksheets - Copy data from rows where column C is not blank

Asked by jasocke2 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Microsoft Office Suite, Automation

Tags: VBA, combining workbooks, merge

Hi.

I have the attached 2 example workbooks (& the code) which merges the worksheets from 7 different workbooks together into a 'Raw data' worksheet in my master workbook.

It is driven off a parameters table which allows you to select which workbooks/worksheets you want to include in the merge. - The code works fine however when it is copying the data from each worksheets it is just copying all the data as a 'block' copy where I need it do do it row by row becuase I dont want to copy the row if colum C in each row contains no data, ie. it is blank.

So in my code I need another loop which will:
Copy data from column A - E for each row if column C is not blank from workbook1
Paste into Column B - F in Raw Data worksheet (as column A contains the source filename) in master workbook
Loop until it reaches no more data

I ideally just want to copy the specific range as above, not the whole row but either will do.

This is my code, please refer to attachment too which includes master workbook and an data entry workbook where the data comes from.

I don't really want to use autofiltering to get the non blank data I would rater do it cell by cell/row by row checking everytime if column C is blank or not.

With the attached save and change directory in master file

Any help would be most appreciated.
